Has anyone used the Glow in the Dark thread? Just wondering if there are any problems with using it compared to normal thread. Was thinking it would look nice on a table runner :-)

I have used it successfully on a pillow case for my grandson. No problems, it stitches just the same. Hugs. Nan W

I've tried it (in small doses as it is horrendously expensive here in UK.) Stitches just like any other thread as Nan said.

I bought the same brand as my embroidery thread - so it is of the same quality, too.

Hi Joyce, mine is all from Madeira, but would think that others make it too.

I bought a whole Madeira box with all the colours and that has quite a few in. Used only small amount, but as others have said, it sews just the same

I just bought some but haven't used it yet. I have a nativity design set (from Nancy Zieman)and I bought some deep blue fabric with mini stars on it...the stars are glow-in-the-dark; so my idea of using this thread was to do the large star over the stable. It's a wip so will see if I can post it when it's completed. Avis

I've used it, stitches the same, no problem. It will eventually lose it's glow capability, but that's usually a rather long time. Hugs, Marji

Got mine at wal mart years ago. don't sell it any more. Mine were tiny little spools very expensive. we used it on the eyes of some simple black cats for t-shirts for grand kids...They loved it....
hugs smiles and flowers to you all

I have a spool but never used it. Does it glow brightly at night or dimley?

Hugs, Bonnie
